We celebrated Mrs B's birthday a couple days early because the day of her birthday is day I have a lot of meetings and is day she has to go to work at 4am and by the time she gets home, she is totally burnt out. So our daughter wanted to make her something, so we got her a vase and filled it with all kinds of different colored clear stones. My wife has other things like this, but not a vase so my daughter wanted to make her one.

We have a bakery in town that is great. They have two different types of frosting. So we did a little of each. Then we had them poor melted fudge over the top of it. Place it in the freezer for five minutes. Then we had them put different colored balloons made of frosting on it and with white frosting make some string for those balloons, then in purple we had them write Happy Birthday Mommy. There are also little jimmy candies all around the edges in different shapes.

The NWS is going to busy around here today as we have several people who got videos from Fryeburg, to Bridgton, to Buckfield of tornado touchdowns. In the past, many of them have been microburst...time will tell for sure.

It seems weird to be at 8:00am and is still in the 60s. No complaints here.
